During the first weekend of September, the skies above the Renaissance UNESCO city of Urbino fill with hundreds of colorful flying kites during the historic Kite Festival Urbino 2026. Celebrating its 71st edition, this beloved regional tradition brings together local districts competing in kite-flying tournaments across scenic hilltop parks. Staying at B&B La Garbatina in Monte Porzio provides the perfect countryside base to experience this poetic event.
